Bethar
Wayward God of Craft, Minor Deity
The god of mortal creation and artistry. Bethar is a quiet but important god to Zol. Bethar gives guidance and favor to mortals who seek him. His aid manifests as guided skill and inspiration.
Friend to the Zolaen Gods, Bethar does not join them in their ranks. It is not known by mortals why this is. Some say it is due to his passive nature, while others say he is not of enough import to The Watcher’s mission. Because of this, the worship of Bethar is typically legal in any place where the worship of the Zolaen Gods is legal.
